Secondary air system

FILTER CLEANING AND AIR INTEGRITY
CHECK
To clean the sponge filters of the secondary air
system, proceed as follows:
1) Unscrew the two fixing screws (1) from the alu-
minium lid of the secondary air box to access the
polyurethane sponge contained inside the same
box;
2) Clean the polyurethane sponge by washing with
soap and water, then dry everything with com-
pressed air and reposition everything back in the
corresponding seats, after checking at the same
time that the blade is not warped and/or does not
guarantee its seal on its contact surface; replace
if necessary.
